TeNgA nEwS

The last two weeks have been very full. We started putting up the house, 2 bathrooms and kitchen last week and finally finished yesterday. We wanted to have everything ready to show the Jesus Film last weekend but things dont always go as planned so last night and tonight they are showing the Jesus Film. We were very lucky to have a work team here the same time we were working out in Tenga. The girls and I went out 3 times to help build, because of space we couldnt go out more. Chelsea is a great worker and loved getting to spend time with the work team from Ireland. Emily was a hard worker too, she really loved working with the cement. She also had great advice for the single Irish girls, she told them that all boys have rocks for brains until they are married, because this is what her daddy told her. On Thursday we got the tent put up, it was not easy but there is now a church out there. PRAISE THE LORD! This next week Paito and Maria-nelsa will move out there and live. We pray next month that we will be able to get the well dug so they can have water. As for last night at the Jesus Flm, they had 500 + people come to see it and they had about 60 people go forward. Another PRAISE THE LORD!

Thanks to all who have given for this project and the other projects! We have received more money! Please let us know if you give so we can make sure it goes to the right place. Thanks to you all for the prayers!

Please email me if you would like some photos of Tenga because for some reason we are no longer able to download photos on here.

Love and gratitude,
Deanna

ECC CHURCH'S MOVING FORWARD

Hello everyone, we had a great time with Nates parents while they were here and they got to see much of the ministries here. We took them to Kruger Park and they saw more animals then they could ever have wanted including one angry elephant that wouldn’t get out of the road.

In Tenga we have finally got the land cleared and we are planning on putting the tent up the week of the 11th and then we will have our first outreach on our property the 16th of July. We are excited for what this will do out there. In Mozambique a church building (tent) is important. Most won’t recognize a church without a building.

In Intaca we are still working on getting the official paper work for the land. It takes some legwork. We went out to take a walk around the land in Intaca and to figure out where we could put a church and if we could put another building for training. It was my first time to see the Land and Nates parents were able to see it too. We are praying that the paper work will be done sometime in the next couple weeks.

In T-3(1st official OMS church in Mozambique) the foundation was poured for the new church. The work is coming along and its so exciting to see.

In the Seminary the first floor is going along well and the second floor will be coming soon.

We have received some money for our ECC needs and we praise the Lord for providing that. If you have given or want to give to any of the needs, please email and let us know. We thank everyone who has given and we thank the Lord for your generosity.

Love you all and miss you,
Deanna
